16 “And now my life seeps away.
    Depression haunts my days.
17 At night my bones are filled with pain,
    which gnaws at me relentlessly.

    He grips me by the collar of my coat.
19 He has thrown me into the mud.
    I’m nothing more than dust and ashes.

18 He seizes my clothing with great power;[b]
he grasps me by my tunic’s collar.
19 He has cast me into the dirt,
and I have become like dust[c] and ashes.
